Exhibition 'Newman Brothers Trade Show Stand' in Newman Brothers at the Coffin Works

Wonderful new exhibition based on images of 'House of Newman' stands at NAFD annual trade shows, where the Newman Brothers could display their latest coffin furniture designs to funeral directors. This exhibition allows us to display more of our core collection of coffin furniture, and also features a coffin bier donated by Castleton Historical Society.

    The Elkington Silver Electroplating Works building carries two blue plaques on its wall. One is dedicated to George Elkington, the owner of the factory, and the other to his employee Alexander Parkes. Parkes is credited with inventing the first plastic, making this site not only significant for its industrial history but also for its contribution to the development of modern materials.
